The two passed through the curling green smoke rising from the bronze incense burner in the temple, and sat cross-legged on the futons respectively. Zhang Shiping sighed softly:

"Time flies. It has been more than 150 years since our Zhang family moved here from Baiyuan Mountain. I have thanked you for these years. I think you were not as tall as my shoulders back then, but now you are old in a flash. .”

"Old Ancestor, I moved here from Baiyuan Mountain at the age of sixteen. It has been one hundred and fifty-seven years, and now I am one hundred and seventy-three years old. How can I not be old? It's not as good as my ancestor's face is not old. After another For a few years, I'm afraid I won't be able to see my ancestor." Zhang Hengren said with a smile, although he is old, but he still has some vigor, not a lifeless look.

Infected by his laughter, Zhang Shiping said with a smile on his face: "You are like this, I also want to ask by the way this time, let's see if any of the boys in the clan can get in." In your eyes, find someone suitable to replace you as the patriarch. You are so old, and you should go to enjoy the happiness."

"I'm enjoying the blessings now. In a few more years, I can still hold on." Zhang Hengren shook his head and refused. The Zhang family is also a Jindan family now, and as the patriarch, his cultivation level must not be too low, otherwise he will not be able to make things difficult for the outside world, and he will not be able to suppress some unruly people internally. But now in the family, apart from a few old guys like them, there are a total of twelve members of the Tianzi generation and the Zhizi generation who have built foundations, but each of these people is working hard to practice.

When Zhang Tianya was the patriarch before, it was Zhang Hengren who assisted him at the side. He had been the patriarch for decades, and he didn't know what to do if he was put down for a while? Of course, apart from this point, he is still somewhat selfish. He is in charge of the big and small affairs of the clan. The satisfaction of controlling everything cannot be brought by his cultivation base during the foundation establishment period.

Zhang Shiping also saw Zhang Hengren's nostalgia for the position of the head of the Zhang family, but he didn't object, it doesn't matter if he has some selfishness.

Anyway, as long as Zhang Hengyun is willing to do these chores, then he will naturally not disagree! Just keep vigilant in my heart, don't be blinded by these things in the future, and be greedy for power and position.

The essence of power lies in the two points of influence and control. A smile makes the world happy, and an anger makes the world happy.

And monks use their cultivation to attribute the power in the world to themselves. It's just that they don't really want to live in those secular dynasties where the aura is thin. If there were auras everywhere in the secular world, perhaps Nanzhou would not have the appearance of thousands of countries, but a unified dynasty would appear.

As for the power of the secular people, it needs to rely on foreign objects such as military power and property.

In the past few decades, the secular dynasty established by the Zhang family has changed for several generations, and it is naturally contaminated with some blood.

The Zhang family in Chongling Mountain didn't want to interfere with these trivial matters at first, as long as the person who ended up in that position was of the blood of the Zhang family. However, the dozen or so Zhang Family Qi Refining Cultivators who were sent to serve as enshrined by the royal family inevitably got involved later for various reasons.

About ten years ago, Zhang Hengren saw that the commotion was too violent, and it was too ugly to say that the family's face was too ugly, so he took a few juniors of the family to go there, and then suppressed it.

Looking at the rise and fall of dynasties in the world, we can see that a real dynasty is about seventy years old. This period of time is completely different. At the beginning, the aristocratic family was lurking. After decades, they slowly took control of the court, and they will start to test. If the royal family is weak, they will intensify. If the royal family is strong, then they will dormant again.

The state of Zhang established by the Zhang family today is almost on this boundary, advancing and retreating within a single thought.

Zhang Hengren briefly said these things, Zhang Shiping just shook his head after hearing this, and didn't care.

The rise and fall of dynasties in the secular world is just following the way of heaven. If you want to find a way to transcend, it is as ethereal as a monk becoming a fairy. In Zhang Shiping's mind, it doesn't matter if Zhang Guoguo Zuo survived for one or two hundred years, or two or three hundred years. In the end, it was just an inevitable result.

After the two talked for a while, there were two voices, one male and one female, coming in from outside the hall.

"Come in when you're here." Zhang Shiping said loudly after hearing the voices of Zhang Tianwu and Zhang Tianya, and after realizing the cultivation of the two, his face became even more joyful.

Soon, a burly man with a copper-black complexion walked in from the outside, and walking side by side with him was a delicate-looking female cultivator.

These two people came to Zhang Shiping, bowed and said: "Meet the ancestor, congratulations to the ancestor for making great progress, Yuanying is hopeful!"

"Sit down. It's fine for outsiders to talk about these polite words. Why bother to talk about them as a family? Rather than expecting me to conceive a baby, it's better to hope that you two can form an alchemy, then I will be satisfied!" Zhang Shiping signaled the two of them to sit down, even though he said so, the joy on his face did not diminish at all.

Zhang Tianya sat down with a smile on her face, while Zhang Tianwu remained silent, exuding a suffocation unconsciously.

The two of them are not too young now, they are both in their 120s and 30s, and their cultivation base in the later stage of Foundation Establishment is the highest in the Zhang family besides Zhang Shiping.

Zhang Tianya just reached the ninth floor of the foundation building a few years ago, and has not yet started to condense mana, while Zhang Tianwu is a few years older, but his cultivation is weaker. Twenty years ago, he finally broke through to the foundation building with Mu Xuanningsha. Basal stage. But since then, he seems to have encountered a spiritual barrier.

After so many years, he has only taken a small step forward now, breaking through to the eighth floor of the foundation. If it goes on like this, maybe in another 20 or 30 years, it will reach the ninth floor of the foundation~lightnovelpub.net~ and then rush to condense the mana again before the longevity is exhausted, and rush through the tribulation in desperation.

Most of the monks in the late stage of foundation establishment are like this. If you fight hard, you will become a golden core real person, and your lifespan will last for hundreds of years. If you fail, you will naturally become a pile of ashes.

Of course, in the world of cultivating immortals, the majority will always fail!

"By the way, what about Hengyun, why hasn't he come yet?" Zhang Shiping said suddenly, before leaving the valley, he passed two jade slips, one to Zhang Hengren and the other to Zheng Hengyun.

"Uncle Zheng went back to his hometown in Wangyue County, Yu Country a few years ago. He said he dreamed of his parents and wanted to go back to worship." Zhang Tianya said worriedly.

Thinking day by day, dreaming at night, but as far as the spirit of Jindan cultivator is concerned, it is not easy to dream easily, so Zhang Tianya is a little worried about Zheng Hengyun, thinking that he is depressed.

"It's good to go back and take a look." Zhang Shiping remembered that many years ago, he saw Zheng Hengyun as a child in the small mountain village. The wolf howled under the tree.
